Have you heard about the crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and want to learn more? Recently, more information about human rights issues in the Congo has come to light, and large technology companies like Apple are implicated as perpetrators in the humanitarian crisis the Congo endures. Confused about how your phone, laptop, Apple Watch, and other devices play a role in the Congo? We’ll be discussing the history of this conflict, its application to STEM and big tech, and ways to stay active to support those affected.

Sponsored by Stem Students Against Genocide and for Ethics (SSAGE)
